I was at Gew's Corner School and left aged 14.4 yrs in July 1949. Next to Mrs Long is Miss Grimwood and I think in the back row is Mr Clarke (dark wavy hair, tall who later married Miss Grimwood). My brother was also at Gew's Corner (2 Years younger than myself) leaving at 11+ to go to Hertford Boys' Grammar School. I was also there when the infants class from the British School was transferred from 1 year in a classroom at Cheshunt Grammar School. We lived in Hillside Ave off Crossbrook Street Cheshunt.

The man standing top left is Jack Dimmer who was my uncle. He was Deputy head for many years at Gews Corner School. He and my aunt lived in Turners Hill opposite the library, a few doors away from my father's grocer shop W. E. Wade and Son at no 21 where I spent my childhood.

I was at Gews Corner for 2 years until summer 1948 when I went to Cheshunt Grammar. The teacher second from the left on the back row is Mr. Fairweather who taught me. The headteacher in the middle is Mr. Cogan.

I joined Gew's Corner School from Turnford Infant's Shool and left X Mas 49. I knew all the teacher's except the lady sitting next to Miss Grimwood, who mother had a shop on Clarondon Parade. In my final years my class teacher was Mr Sid Pretty.Some of my class Names Were, Colin Duff, Brian Pottinger, Frank Beer
